The deme deserved so much better and I donât usually say this, intentionally hurting him, ghosting him for 8 years. Calling him a stalker when he tries to get closure or ask why. Hurting him so bad it developed into psychological sexual trauma that wouldnât allow him to move on even if he wanted bc he couldnât get hard?? (Lowkey thatâs funny but how badly does someone have to be hurt and traumatized by a situation for that to happen) then when things get good you try to sleep with another man who mind you, makes your son feel unwanted!! And then you go on and hurt the seme again and heâs like okay fine Iâll really leave then, and then you pop up at his house?? Just let him go?? You wanted him gone, you hurt him bc you wanted to push him away?? And now that he accepts it bc you deliberately broke his heart youâre gonna go back? Oooh he annoys me so bad, ik heâs traumatize and scared of commitment but that doesnât mean you just get to purposely hurt people and then go back to them after you told them to essentially give up on you.

I feel like you guys donât know what grooming is⌠he met ML when he was a child yeah, but then ML was âkilledâ and missing for around 8 years, in which time he grew up. Grooming is when someone is there watching another kid grow up, consistently, all the time, becoming friends with them until theyâre old enough. Or in my case becoming friends with me so I wouldnât tell on him when I was molested. This is not grooming, because MC wasnât there every step of the way to slowly groom him into a lover, ML grew up without the MC around. By himself, he wasnât swayed by the MC being around or telling him things (MC wasnât even around ???) now for the pedophilia allegations. Yeah no this isnât pedophilia either, it was made pretty clear that MC wasnât romantically or physically interested in ML. He thought of ML as a kid, but it was an arranged marriage in which he had no say, he did not love ML romantically, did not look upon him romantically. He only knew him for a short while before the revolt. Then they meet again as basically strangers (because they only knew each other for a bit and then 8 or so years passed) and after a while of fighting together and bonding only then, did MC fall in love with ML. Letâs not water down ACTUAL terms just bc ur uncomfortable, itâs not grooming and itâs not pedophilia, for it to be those terms it would have to basically meet the requirements and it doesnât. Before saying shit is grooming or pedophilia yall should do some research on what those terms ACTUALLY mean. You canât just use them Willy nilly. This doesnât meet the requirements for grooming or pedophilic fiction, the relationship btwn ML and MC before the time skip was not romanticized or sexualized, mc only saw him as some kid, he has no feelings for him. Itâs also NOT grooming because thereâs an 8 year age gap where ML and MC had NO contact, nada, none, they did not see each other, or speak to each other for 8ish years. MC had no idea ML was even alive. Grooming is a consisten form of manipulation, that is done consistently over a set of years. MC had only known ML for maybe a few weeks (maybe a month and thatâs being generous itâs been a while since I read it) but not a long time at all, before the ML went missing, ML was then raised for 8ish years, having no contact with MC, so even if MC wanted to, heâd have been unable to actually groom him because grooming is smth that needs consistent contact. MC falling for ML after his return because they bonded and fought together is ALSO not pedophilic or grooming because MC didnât make ML âfall for himâ via manipulation, and MC had no interest in ML as a kid. It was only after meeting each other AS ADULTS, after 8 years apart with no contact (where they were basically strangers) did MC start growing feelings for ML.

Itâs kinda crazy I need to go into detail about what grooming and pedophilia actually are. Because the internet has it so muddled now. Yall are trying so hard to be morally right that you end up watering down these important words which actually, in turn, make things worse for victims like me. By trying to change the meaning of grooming or pedophilia as the Internet has been doing, yall are making it seem less important than it actually is. SMH. You learn words but donât bother to understand their actual meanings and then just throw them around until they lose their seriousness.

absolutely. as another victim of grooming and csa i find it crazy that people are throwing around these accusations without even knowing what those words mean and the seriousness of them. it feels insulting and makes me feel icky i feel like things like this can contribute to people minimizing the severity of pedophilia and grooming. itâs truly disappointing

Thank god theres people with common sense here these ppl genuinely just donât realize how their attempt at being âmorally superiorâ for refusing to read this for wtv made up reasons they have (pedophilia and grooming are you kidding me???) actually ends up hurting us victims rather than helping us bc itâs ruining and changing the severity of these words.
Life is so bleak without them
